1979 Map of Dorrington
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Calaveras Big Trees State Park and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills define this landscape, where the Mokelumne River and its various forks carve deep drainage patterns. The 1970s marked a period of established recreation and small-town growth, centered around Arnold and Dorrington. Local institutional history is visible at the Hazel Fischer Sch and the Dorrington Forest Service Station, while the Heckendorn Mine and various Gravel Pits point to the area's extractive industrial past. The presence of the Menzies Girl Scout Camp and several campgrounds like North Grove Campground highlight the transition toward a tourism-based economy. For genealogists, the Cem near the corner of Arnold Dr provides a specific point of local interest near the growing residential areas.
